 Great productAug 25, 2007
By C. Andersen
Philips playback just keeps getting better. I enjoy watching shows from the UK, Australia, and occasionally Asia, and this box handles the various region DVD's, plus does a great job of playing Mpegs and DivX/Xvid avi files in their various formats. My only complaint is that the user interface via the remote can feel a little awkward at times, but the performance, sound, and picture quality are wonderful on my big hidef tv. Great stuff.

 YES, this is multi regional even if Philips says noSep 13, 2008
By Hoping to be Helpful
Thanks to Gavin R. Jewell "BigHairyScaryMonster" who linked us to H.A Emet review. We couldn't play our European DVDs on this machine. We called Philips who told us (two different reps) they don't make multiregional machines. Searched the comments and found the way to make it multiregional. Thank YOU!! It works now. Can't wait to finally watch my DVDs.
This is what H.A. Emet wrote for all of you in the same predicament that I was in.
To make it region code free follow these instruction:
1. Turn on the unit
2. Open the loading tray
3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key
6. Press the down arrow once to enter the Preference page
5. Enter 138931 on the remote
6. You will now see the current region code displayed
7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions
8. Press the "Play" button on the remote
Happy watching.

 Buy it cheaper from Amazon insteadJan 06, 2008
By Gavin R. Jewell
"BigHairyScaryMonster"
This PHILIPS DVP 5140 is identical to the one amazon sells for nearly half the price at Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support. Although it ships from Amazon in region 1 mode, its a cinch to switch it to multi-region mode following the instructions in one of the reviews there (http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XJZ8ZG9KQRL7/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm) - I know 'cos I just bought one. I plugged one of my PAL region 2's in before changing anything and it gave me a region error, then I followed the instructions and my region 2 PAL DVD magically played, and on an NTSC TV too.
I only plugged it in for the first time today, but it just worked first time with no set-up at all (other than the multi-region thing).
Only down side so far is the delayed response to the controls, both remote and buttons - other than that, I'm totally pleased.
1 star reflects the price of this page only - not the product.

Philips DVD 5140/37Nov 04, 2008
By Robert E. Shlafer
Played PAL/NTSC All Region right out of the box from Target for $39. Excellent pic. Better or as good as my $90 Tosiba which I cannot hack for PAL-All Region...thus the Philips 5140.
No problems of any sort with my remote. But I do not expect a split second response times. All functions on remote work just beautifully, but one must read and understand the owner's manual thoroughly to get the best from the remote which will do it all assuming the operator is knowledgeable in this respect.
I am very pleased with this player. All menues are easy to navigate.
Did I mention...READ & THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND THE OWNER'S MANUAL WITH RESPECT TO THE REMOTE! :)

Added Info on Multi Region HackSep 28, 2008
By W. Ludewig
I bought this Philips 5140 and it is an excellent DVD. BUT----the 138931 "hack" did not work for me at first. The list of regions did not
come on screen after several careful tries. Then I shut it off for a while, and let everything calm down, then turned it on again----much like a re-boot of a computer. Tried the hack again, exactly as before and TAH DAH! It worked..
So if the hack doesn't appear to work after several tries, turn the DVD off for a few minutes to let it clear itself, then try again.
